Create file
stores

A directory for the file store that must already exist on your file
system, so be sure to create it before completing this page.

A file store is a
file-based repository for storing subsystem data, such as persistent JMS
messages or durable subscriber information.

If you have not already done so, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Lock & Edit (see Use the Change Center).

In the left
panel of the console, expand Services and select
Persistent Stores.

On the
Summary of Persistent Stores page, click
New > Create File Store.

Note: Once you create a file store, you cannot rename
it. Instead, you must delete it and create another one that uses the
new name.

On the
Create a new File Store page, update the
following:

Name -- Name for the File Store.

Target -- Server instance or
migratable target on which to deploy the file store.

Note: In a clustered environment, a recommended best
practice is to target a custom file store to the same migratable
target as the migratable JMS service, so that a member server
will not be a single point of failure. A file store can also be
automatically migrated from an unhealthy server instance to a
healthy server instance, with the help of the server health
monitoring services. See Configure migratable targets
for JMS-related services.

Directory -- Pathname to the directory
on the file system where the file store is kept. This directory
must exist on your system, so be sure to create it before
completing this tab.

Note: When a custom file store is targeted to a
migratable target, the specified directory must be accessible
from all candidate server members in the migratable target. For
highest reliability, use a shared storage solution that is
itself highly available—for example, a storage area network
(SAN) or a dual-ported SCSI disk.
